My fellow Rockies and baseball fans,
2018, despite the ups and downs of a 162 game schedule and some unforeseen issues, was an excellent year for the Rockies as they reached the postseason in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history.
They were in the hunt for the National League West until Game 163 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While they lost in Game 163, they defeated Javier Baez and the Chicago Cubs by a score of 2-1 in 13 innings, despite Baez saying that the Rockies and their future opponents (which never came along as a result of their elimination) “know that we’re the best.
